Solution Overview

Problem

Existing language learning support systems fail to effectively create user profiles that reflect users' wide-ranging interests based on their speech, limiting the personalization of services and advertisements.

Innovation Solution

An information processor that acquires keywords from user speech, summarizes descriptions, extracts additional elements not in the summary, and outputs these elements to create a user profile, allowing for deeper interest reflection through spontaneous user input, with conditions for outputting these elements varying based on the number of vehicle occupants and conversation frequency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the system outputs all detailed information from the database description, then the user can access complete information, but the information processing time and user attention required increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidinformation processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments information into two distinct parts: a summary containing essential information and additional elements containing detailed information. The summary creating section generates a condensed overview, while the extracting section identifies supplementary details. This segmentation allows users to quickly consume essential information through the summary while having access to complete information through additional elements if needed, thus resolving the contradiction between information completeness and processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The extracting section extracts additional elements from the full description that are not included in the summary. These extracted elements contain supplementary information that users can access selectively. This extraction mechanism enables the system to provide complete information while allowing users to control their information consumption time by choosing whether to read beyond the summary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Measurement precision

If the system creates a detailed user profile by analyzing all user speech data, then the profile accuracy improves, but the complexity of data processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser profile accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary additional elements from full descriptions rather than processing and storing all raw data. The profile creating section uses these extracted elements along with user inputs to build accurate profiles. This extraction approach maintains profile accuracy by capturing essential information while reducing data processing complexity compared to analyzing complete speech datasets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates spontaneous user inputs directly into profile creation, allowing users to actively participate in defining their own profiles. This self-service mechanism improves profile accuracy by incorporating user-intended information while simplifying processing compared to purely automated analysis of all speech data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Speed

If the system outputs additional elements immediately after keyword acquisition, then information freshness is improved, but conversation interruption occurs when multiple occupants are present

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation delivery speedVSAvoidconversation interruption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic control of information output based on real-time detection of conversation frequency and number of occupants. The output section monitors these parameters and adjusts its behavior accordingly: outputting additional elements immediately when appropriate, or delaying output when conversation frequency indicates active discussion. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by making information delivery speed responsive to contextual conditions rather than fixed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from conversation frequency detection and occupant number detection to control the timing of information output. When conversation frequency exceeds thresholds or multiple occupants are detected, the system delays output to avoid interruption. This feedback mechanism allows the system to maintain information freshness while adapting to social context, resolving the contradiction between speed and harmful interruptions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
